No, Roman's referring to the company that's been selling alarms for toilet seats that go off when someone (a male someone) lifts up the seat. There's been a movement in Sweden and Germany to modify male behavior so we do not urinate while standing up it's supposedly a sign of our dominance. It's complete nonsense of course.

I know of no "good old days" when women ever did that nor does it seem likely they ever would, lol.

So how does that fit with the "american male" having been "reduced to having to lift up his own toilet seat"? Isn't it a case of the european male being restricted from lifting his own toilet seat?

I have to say I feel pretty stupid here, so I appologise if I'm just having some reading comprehesnion brain snap.

And for the record, I don't know of those good old days either, it was just my best shot at a potential explanation for the quote.
